Speaking: The Future of Conferences – NSW KM Forum

Sonixtrip - Ep Launch

Sonixtrip - Ep Launch

Over the past 10 years I’ve been playing in a number of bands.  Everything from hard rock, numetal, progressive and ambient.  Generally playing guitar, vocals, bass, and in later projects – synths, pianos and strings. It’s taught me so much about myself and the way people perceive music and performance.  In my ‘real’ life I was previously the National Events Manager for AIMIA.  Running, producing and staging over 40 events in the digital media industry.

It’s time I smashed the two together.

Next week I’m presenting 5 Things That Heavy Metal Taught Me About Conferences at the NSW KM Forum: The Future of Conferences.  I’m still formulating a lot of it, but hopefully will connect with you all about what I’ve learnt, and where I think things might be headed.

Feel free to listen, download, or even buy, my latest EP from Sonixtrip, or check out the new ‘publish-as-I-go’ progressive ambient project Movement & Measure.  Hope to see you next week.
